HONORABLE SEND OFF FOR AN HONORABLE MAN

As part of the BIDs supplemental sanitation initiatives, Luis is contracted yearly through Atlantic Maintenance Co.  7 days a week, 351 days a year, Luis is seen on Flatbush Avenue from Plaza Street to Atlantic Avenue sweeping our streets and gutters, shoveling snow, emptying our corner trash receptacles and bagging garbage for sanitation.

   
Luis made many friends along the avenue and it was displayed when so many people turned out to show their support as he was presented with a Citation of Commendation from Councilwoman Letitia James.  The Citation was co-produced with Borough President Marty Markowitz office. Regina Cahill, President of the BID,  praised Luis when she said he reminded her of a famous song from Sesame Street. “Who are the People in Your Neighborhood?” She then presented Luis with a plaque for his hard work and committment from the North Flatbush Avenue Avenue District.

After a few sips of coffee and a bite of a bagel, Luis made his way outside and began his journey on North Flatbush Avenue Avenue sweeping the streets as if it were just another day.  Luis will finally hang up his blue cap on Friday, March 13th.  Luis once told us that he enjoyed his job in our District, but it was time for him to move on and enjoy his new journey into retirement.

The Board of Directors, property owners, merchants and residents  of the North Flatbush Avenue Avenue BID wish Luis  peace, health and happiness on his new  journey.
